What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in railcar maintenance or welding where safety, quality, and adherence to AAR/FRA/DOT standards are prioritized, with clear processes and opportunities to apply fabrication and inspection expertise.

I am an experienced railcar repairman and welder with a strong background in maintenance and fabrication across railcar and industrial environments. I combine hands-on welding certifications and mechanical skills to diagnose, repair, and restore railcars to operational standards.

In my current roles I inspect cars for DOT, FRA, and AAR defects, build and manage repair documentation in Railcar RX, generate BRCs, and coordinate client approvals while performing field repairs and post-weld heat treatments. I routinely perform welding (6010, 7018, flux core, TIG), fabrications, and complex mechanical rebuilds.

I have held maintenance technician and welder positions where I minimized machine downtime, fabricated replacement parts, and performed scheduled maintenance and troubleshooting. I emphasize attention to detail, safety compliance, and clear communication with clients and team members.

I am motivated to apply my welding, inspection, and repair expertise in roles that value quality workmanship, adherence to standards (AAR/FRA/DOT), and continuous improvement in maintenance and repair processes.
